...Long-term Recovery Interview It was really hard for me to choose someone to interview for this assignment, because I really did not know anyone who has not relapsed in over five years. I was going to ask one of the clients at my current internship, but the longest anyone in the program that has not relapsed was over three years ago. I asked my family if they knew anyone to help me with my assignment, and my mother informed me of someone that we actually know. My family and I know someone, who I will refer to as “Bob”, who has not relapsed in over six years. Bob currently helps the employees at a 7/11 convenient store, up the street from my grandmother’s house. Every time I stop at 7/11, Bob is there taking out the trash, sweeping the...

...911 Interview In the stories my mom told of her personal 911 experience for the interview I conducted, there were a few common themes that kept coming up during the interview. This particular section from it is when she describes her personal experience of where and what she felt in actual time had strong examples of these ideas. Some of these recurring themes being ones that we have discussed in great depth during class. I will be analyzing these important aspects of 911 from my mother’s dialogue that match up with what keeps coming up in different sources we have read or watched from class. More specifically, I will be looking at the repeating diction and word choice she uses to describe the tragic event and what effect these words have. In...

...Professional Interview I chose my mother to perform the assigned interview with. She has worked for Wingate of Wilbraham for a long time now. It was a job she obtained after working for MassMutual. I chose to interview my mother because she has acquired tremendous experience from working within multiple settings in the health field. She provided vital information during the interview from her past experiences which will enable me to learn and grow from. I provided my mother with background information regarding the purpose of the interview assignment. I began the interview by asking her how she came about her career in the healthcare field, she responded, “What got me started in this field is that I had prior experience at MassMutual Financial group overseeing a team of associates and reviewing their work loads and assignments. When I saw the opportunity to be a staffing coordinator, at Wingate of Wilbraham, it seemed to be a much less stressful job than the one at MassMutual. I never received a degree but the combination of college courses that I took which included pre-med, pre-nursing, counseling psychology and then business management and all the jobs I had within those related fields subsequently gave me a variety and a mix of experience and knowledge for my current position.” This really showed me how valuable work experience, coupled with academic experience, can be helpful when applying for jobs or deciding what type of jobs to apply for. The interview discussion then...

...Santos/2 p.m./English A Mountain of Perseverance As I began to think about whom has had the most significant impact on my life, I began to think of everyone who has been involved in my academic and athletic careers. I realized that I was looking at all the wrong aspects of my life. Many of these people have come and gone throughout my life, yet through all of them one individual remained constant, my mother. My mother is by far, the greatest superhero in our comic book that “The Barrientes Boys” call “life”. She has the strength and perseverance of an elephant and the loyalty and courage of a lion. Her heart and determination are traits that we can only hope to have one day for ourselves. Our mother is a strong woman. Whether by continuously working her way up the mountain of parenthood, pushing herself to go to night school after long strenuous days at work, or combatting the crippling parasite we call “breast cancer”, she has never overlooked her role as a mother. According to her, “she has never swayed from her virtues and she felt it was her duty to instill in her boys the same values, principles, and virtues that were instilled in her”. (Barrientes, M) If there is one thing our mother has shown us, is that with a positive attitude, determination, perseverance, and the right amount of effort, anything can be accomplished by anyone. “I have watched my wife struggle with running a household while trying to juggle returning to college full-time and working a full-time job...

...For the assessment and interview, I was with a seven-year-old with ASD and his mother and sister. It was the same child that I performed the BOT-II on. The therapist had warned me before that this might be a difficult mom to interact with. She told me she could come off as very intimidating and usually takes the lead for interviews. I am relatively comfortable with my interview skills with parents because of my experience at the Waisman Center with Sharon. I tried to stay calm because I knew I had the ability to interview a parent, but the therapist’s warning did make me nervous. This interview was also difficult because this family was not a new one to clinic. Instead of being able to go though an entire occupational profile or collecting a...

...Essay One (Fiction) “Boys” by Rick Moody, “Girl” by Jamaica Kinkaid, “Lust” by Susan Minot Even though these stories are different, they are all extremely relatable. They all resonated with me in that each one had different excerpts that I could see myself in. In Ricky Moody’s “Boys” I could see myself in them as they grew up and experienced different circumstances in their lives. I could hear my mother giving me advice while reading Jamaica Kinkaid’s “Girl”. While I have not experienced a lot of what is described in Susan Minot’s “Lust,” I related to trying to figure out what love is. All of these stories have formal aspects in common when it comes to style: repetition. They all contain the use of anaphoras (repeating the same thing at the beginning of each sentence). They all also follow a certain pattern throughout the story. An example of this is how Rick Moody, in “Boys” repeated the word ‘boys’ in order to emphasize the central idea and meaning of the story. Like Moody stated in an interview with Electric Lit, “the goal in “Boys” is to tell the story of the boys, not just to compile variations on the sentence ‘Boys enter the house.’ That assignment would be too easy” (Grief). All three stories use of run-on sentences to create a specific and distinct tone to the story. In “Boys”, Moody wrote as if he was writing everything that came to mind, like he was just writing his thoughts. The style of this story is very descriptive and does not leave many...

...analysis of an interview with Chloe attempts to show how early attachments form a framework of later development. This study shows some support for Bowlby’s theory of the continuity of attachment behaviour but also shows that the nature of attachments can change throughout life in particular due to adult relationships and life experience. Introduction The field of developmental psychology is concerned with understanding how our mental outlook can change over the course of a lifetime. It considers both the effects of cultural and environmental factors and the internal motivations of the individual. One of the main area of research is understanding the degree of continuity in how behaviour is formed and to what degree it can be influenced by past experience. In the area of human relationships, Attachment theory (as cited in Wood et al., 2007) explores how relationships develop. Bowlby (as cited in Wood et al., 2007) proposed that we have a basic biological drive to form an attachment to a ‘mother figure’ at birth. The nature of the attachment gives rise to a ‘internal working model’ in the mind of the child that has three components, a model of the self, the mother figure and a model of the relationship between the two. Bowlby considered that this model forms a basic paradigm that would influence all future relationships. A study by Ainsworth (as cited in Wood et al., 2007) gave support to Bowlby’s view by examining how children reacted to separation from their mother in a...

...Young and Middle Adulthood Transitions Interview 1 For my first interview I decided to interview myself. I am 35 years old with dark curly hair, hazel green eyes and fair skin. My face is round and symmetrical. I am confident in my own skin and I have an outgoing social personality. I enjoy adventures but get antsy easily. I know how to work a room and engage an audience. I have been in banking for 18 years and recently took on a manger position. In reference to the 5 factor model (Craig and Dunn 2013, p 437) I am still a little emotionally unstable. I am moody at times with a bit of sensitivity, yet I can be relaxed in certain situations and feel emotionally stable. I am very much an extravert who likes to talk and socialize. I have always been open to new things with a wild and creative imagination. I think of myself as warm, friendly, king and sympathetic; I have always been able to sense the emotions of those around me. I am also very dependable, someone who can be counted on in times of need. In regards to Erikson’s stages of development (Craig and Dunn 2013, p 417) I feel I have so much more to contribute to the world. I feel I have spent enough time in self-absorption and need to have more generativity. When I hit my 30’s it really hit me how much more I could do to add value in this world. I started to question my career goals and life aspirations, looking back at what I’ve done and thinking about all the things I could do in the future. Looking...

...Interview Profile Cheryl Denise Womack BEH 225 September 16, 2012 Dr. Jessica DeValentino Interview Profile I have chosen Diana Bederka to do my interview, because she is the only friend I have had that I really can call a friend. I met Diana back in 2009. Diana comes from a very medium size family; she is the only girl in the family on her mother side of the family. Diana is 45 years old. Diana did not go to college, but she is an apartment manager over an apartment complex with 75 units, as therefore as Diana’s friend she would be considered as a very, extremely, independent worker. So, my friend Diana would be a very good interviewee for me. Diana loves to observe, because she basically has the visual and I also feel that Diana can focus much better when she read about anything. Diana likes to watch the local news, documentaries, and any other programs instead of reading upon the follow items above. Diana is the apartment manager over the apartment complex where I live, and she knows several things about management. Diana prefers to study where there are no background noises, such as the television or even listening music. At Diana’s house, home, or even the library, there are more distractions. Because of this, she does not have her full focus on what she has intentions on studying. To contrast, I Cheryl Womack finds it easy to study at home in the morning, or late at night, because I have no distractions. I cannot concentrate with too much noise. The Meyer...

...It takes an abundant amount of time, money, and paperwork to legally immigrate to the United States. The first step of the immigration process is obtaining a visa, a step that was difficult for my parents. There are multiple types of visas, depending on the purpose why one wants to move to the United States, such an employment, family, refugee, immigration, and marriage visa. My father first applied here as an immigrant, and when he arrived in the United States, my mother applied for a marriage visa to join my father to start their new lives together. They both went to the United Nations office in Baghdad, Iraq, a complicated six-hour drive from Slemani, Kurdistan to proceed with the preliminary steps. When he filed for permanent residence, he had the choice to pick the three top countries he wanted to live in which he wrote; Denmark, Canada, and the United...

...My great grandparents all emigrated from Europe before the Holocaust. They all ended up in New York City. My grandparents were all born in different boroughs of the city and after they met up in life, decided to start their lives and raise their families in Nassau County of Long Island, New York. My parents are the second generation of our family who were born in America. My grandparents being the first generation all worked in the same line of work until they retired and they hoped the same for their children. One of my grandfathers worked in the textile industry while the other worked as a production manager in a clothing factory. My mother and father met on a teen tour of the United States one summer and it just so happened that they lived one town over from each other. When they returned home from the teen tour, they fell in love and have been together since high school. Both my parents put themselves through school and planned on doing the same thing as my grandparents. Start their lives in Long Island and be able to work there and build a life there. My aunt being younger than both my mother and father also put herself through school but did not have a significant other in her life so she decided to focus on her career. She too also had the aspirations to find a job and be able to build a life and long lasting career as her father did, but just like my mother and father, challenges arose and adjustments had to be made...
